So today was a fail for me. Perfect weather and my cars break 🤣

T3SGT - melted the power module housing

Infraction V2 - lived up to my name and burned another TP rotor. Time for another motor. Placed an order for a 5650 but it will take time. Trying to figure out a plan B until it arrives. Might just do the 1717-1650 to get by.

Are you pulling full throttle during the past? Do you have a Perfect Pass or other throttle limiting factor? Throttle curve in the ESC or radio?

I try to get to or close to full throttle as car passes.none of those except throttle cure ..I have it starting out soft ,then coming in harder towards the big end..now that I thank about it ,that's probly causing more sag.
 
114mph! Will update this post with details and verification video when I get home. About at the limit of what the taxiway onto the ramp will allow. Going to have to start running in the longer taxiway next time.


Was being chased by a storm (hence the wind and angry looking clouds in the background, turned into a blizzard) so I ended up rushing things. On the short taxiway I am currently using I am really maxed out, 2-3sec of max throttle pull before having to brake hard. Will be running on the longer taxiway from here on out. Transmitter was super low battery and I lost signal at the end of the last (off camera) run. HW drag brake is 20% max and lost it off the end of the road. Tore up the splitter, but no other damage, not even body scarring. Time for a CF one instead :p May add CF wheel well infills while I am at it. After 4-5 runs total, motor and ESC were barely luke warm, so I can easily push the gearing up; probably going to go from 27:34 with GP5 diff straight to 30:34 or 31:34. Still have plenty of traction with the white hoons, so I'll probably cut down the spoiler from the bottom rib to the edge of the rear curve.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but full throttle was reached (calibration is fine) but only for +/-1 second. Black line is only flat for 1 sec. That's not enough to have the P_out go to the max. Zooming in further and disabling some none relevant lines will make it much clearer. (Did I mention before that I am colorblind?)

Way to go brother! ✊🏻

I made some passes today, not trying for the PB, just slowly building to it. Hit a solid 130mph in the Infraction. Had to swap the TP 4050-2300 (burnt) for the 1717-1650 and wanted to keep the top end gear setup as close as the old as possible. Was running 25/37 on the TP and hit 129mph and then 29/37 with the 1717 and hit 130mph. Already swapped the gearing to 34/39 which should get me to 140mph.
